Developing a passion for reading is crucial, according to Jim Trelease, author of the best-seller, The Read-Aloud Handbook. “Students who read the most, read the best, achieve

As the cover date reads 9/11, I want to begin this week with my thoughts and prayers for the families and all those affected by the tragic events of 9/11. The number of Americans lost that day continues to climb as a result of the toxic dust breathed in on-site. The 9/11 Memorial Ride, my
Not the creepy Jigsaw kind, but the hang out on a Saturday evening with friends and play a board game kind. When the weather cools off, our family tends to hunker down and stay inside. We have a ton of board games and really enjoy spending afternoons playing games together. Some are more complicated than
The hijacked planes and subsequent crashes on the Twin Towers in New York City, the Pentagon in Washington, D.C., and in the countryside outside of Shanksville, PA, on September 11, 2001, ranks as one of the worst days in American history. It had the shock effect of Pearl Harbor and the Kennedy assassination, and just
If you enjoy muscle cars and spiffy Corvettes, the next two Saturdays will be great for you. First, on September 14th, the 25th Annual Mopar Car Show will be held at Kaiser Brothers. Next, not too far away, in Picture Rocks, another great show will take place — the Corvette Car Show the following Saturday,
Fall is here! While the days are still a bit warmer than I’d prefer, the mornings are fairly crisp, and the scent of changing foliage is in the air. With the slowly changing weather comes the change of seasonal style. As we gear up to trade in summer clothes for winter wear, it may be
That about sums it up! But if you’re not into equations, perhaps an explanation is due. Regardless of the back-to-school schedules of individual school districts and the curriculums involved, many students have begun the task of mastering mystifying mathematical tasks. However, for Wellsboro’s Craig West, solving the above-noted mystery has been top-of-mind since long before
My articles are submitted on Friday. My lovely editor has everything else finished, and she is patiently waiting. I do my best not to leave her hanging. I have been on a roll here lately. Perhaps I conquered my struggles with mobile freelance procrastination. Yes. There are so many great stories to tell. I lost
September is Library Card Sign-Up Month, a time when the six libraries within the Lycoming County Library System (LCLS) join the American Library Association (ALA) and libraries nationwide to remind parents, caregivers and students that signing up for a library card is the first step on the path to academic achievement and lifelong learning. This
Now that September is here, turkey hunters are on the lookout for potential hunting locations. Each week, in my daily travels, I have spotted hens with their broods and, in some cases, three or four gobblers in a group. On the other hand, I’ve talked to some turkey hunters who say they haven’t been seeing
As I continue collecting weird words in my regular reading, I recently came upon dogsbody — which, it turns out, has nothing to do with dogs. It reminded me of alewife, which is not related to wife — and likewise fishwife, which is only secondarily connected to fish. I began to think what other selections
The statewide archery antlered and antlerless deer season opens in just over three weeks (Saturday, October 5, to be exact), and as the season progresses and nears that “magical” time of the rut, bowhunters will be spending an increasing amount of time in the woods. While hunting from the ground or in a ground blind
ARIES – Mar 21-Apr 20 Aries, you are quick to spend money lately, and that can prove problematic in the long run. It may be a good idea to sit down with a financial planner and sort out spending and saving habits. TAURUS – Apr 21-May 21 Taurus, this week you have free rein to
With their 5-4 win over the Trenton Thunder, the Williamsport Crosscutters captured their first-ever MLB Draft League Championship and their first league title since 2003 (NY-Penn League). Josh Lanham delivered a strong starting performance, allowing three runs over five innings, striking out four to earn the win. Lanham allowed all three runs in the top
It was a beautiful, sun-drenched, late-summer morning. It appeared all was right in the world. The early day’s sun was still very warm, the smell of fall was in the air. I dropped my sons off for school and daycare. Jimmy had just started kindergarten, and Hunter was a very young preschooler. I was looking
I have to start the week with a correction and apology. We always do our absolute best to ensure that all the information we put out is correct, but sometimes the internet gets us. Last week, we noted that the Lock Haven Jaycees work in conjunction with the Lock Haven Boat Regatta Foundation to organize
Given that the Kennedy assassination has been deeply debated and discussed for 61 years now, we should not expect that after just seven weeks, we would know how and why on July 13th, at an open-air campaign rally near Butler, Pennsylvania, a 20-year young man named Thomas Matthew Crooks attempted to assassinate Republican candidate for
The Williamsport Crosscutters take on the 2nd half champions in the 2024 MLB Draft League Championship game, THIS Thursday September 5th presented by UPMC, Antlers on the Water, Webb Weekly and Backyard Broadcasting. The first 1,200 fans will receive a free Cutters Rally Towel courtesy of Weis Markets and WILQ plus fireworks after the game.
Thankfully, school has started. Jensen and Teach are off and running. We enjoyed another fantastic summer. It was capped off with another splendid Little League World Series. A walk-off bunt? You must be kidding. Our addition is mostly finished. But I still have a major punch list. I pulled the trigger on some new knee
By now, everyone is back in school and hopefully in a good routine. Before you know it, picture day will be here! It may seem like school pictures aren’t as important as they were before we all started carrying cameras in our phones. But there is something to having a professional photo of your child
Hall of Fame pitcher Satchel Paige once said, “You win a few, you lose a few. Some get rained out. But you get to dress for all of them.” Paige’s statement succinctly describes the Williamsport Crosscutters 2024 season. After outdistancing the MLB Draft League field and winning the league’s first-half championship, the Crosscutters fell in
It has been 23 years since the infamous and cowardly terrorist attacks of September 11, 2001. No one who was alive in those times will ever forget it. A whole new generation has been born since this tragic day. Even as the smoke was still rising from the rubble of the attacks, folks locally were
Tragically, every year, as the hunting season gets underway and the “army” of Pennsylvania hunters hits the woods, unpleasant discoveries are made. As these hunters travel deeper into the woods than normal in pursuit of small or big game, the chances are all too real that they may come across a hiker or camper who
Needless to say, as we begin to move into fall months, Pennsylvania deer hunters are seriously starting to scrutinize the woods and fields around them in hopes of seeing some nice deer racks. I’ll confess that anytime I go anywhere, I’m on the lookout for deer, turkeys, and any other game I can see as
I’ve got a lot of ground, out field grass, fairway, and even peaceful cemetery space to cover this week, so I had better get right to it. I’ll begin where I left off last week with West End Babe Ruth 13-16’s trip to the World Series in Branson, Missouri. Congratulations to the West End team, parents,
We are going to do things a little differently this week. I’m sharing my space with Lou this week for a little insight on the MLB/Little League Classic. I’m going to let Lou lead off and I’ll bat clean-up… The 2024 MLB/Little League Classic is now in the books. It had one of the most
For over 50 years, the Susquehanna River at Lock Haven has reverberated with the thrilling sound of boat engines on Labor Day weekend, thanks to the Lock Haven annual Labor Day Regatta. This beloved end-of-summer event is set to return from August 30th to September 2nd. Prepare for a weekend of diverse entertainment! Alongside the
